Sony AW-G170A
The DVD-R brand is Verbatim. SMPS: Corsair HX620 I connected one 4 pin cable directly to the dvd writer On further check, the retail box that i got along with this drives is branded as Sony DRU-170C DVD+/-R 18X. I m looking to update the firmware..but so far didn't find a suitable one.. Yeah and i have tried the suggestion provided in the archive but it wont work Anybody facing the same problems? anybody have any idea? or I have to return it..for claiming warranty...if i can solve then i dont want to go through the hassle of that Last edited by realdan; 26-01-2008 at 06:21 PM. |

Re: Sony AW-G170A

i got a sony DVD+RW and managed to burn a multi-session disc. However i couldnt see any content on it using the dvd drive...then i check the disc in another PC and found the files that I have written and the file is working fine... |

Re: Sony AW-G170A
yes i have faced same issues in the past. i guess its just hereditary for tht sony drive.
when i tried to get it repaired, i had to send it to rashi peripherals atleast 4 times because they just cudnt understand the problem. atlast they replaced it wid another drive. but yea, they were saying tht there is a prob wid firmware of such drives.. |

Re: Sony AW-G170A
i have sata hdd and ide sony dvd drive
from what i see elsewhere...this particular range of drives from sony is really bad...this is the sixth months that i have had the drive...with very rare burning so far..since this is a new pc and there are plenty of space in my hdd so didnt bother about burning much looks like it could be half dead? |
